Darrell Watkins Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Darrell was born February 19, 1967 at Helene Fuld Hospital, the son of late Thelma Watkins and Herman Lacey. He was affectionately known as "Wizzie Wiz" to many but "Fat Boy" by his sister. He was a lifelong Trenton resident and attended Trenton Central High School. He was employed by Tenacre Foundation for 25 years prior to the onset of his illness.
Darrell was known for his love of football and an avid San Francisco 49ers fan since childhood. At least twice a week he would wear something with the 49ers logo. During football season if he's watching his team play and you're not a fan then you couldn't enter into his home until the game is over. He was also passionate about his dog and family.
Darrell was predeceased by his parents Thelma Watkins, Herman Lacey; step- father James Johnson; brother Ephraim Watkins; maternal grandparents Willie and Georgiana Watkins; paternal grandmother Alberta Lacey; uncle Mackey Watkins.
Darrell leaves to cherish his loving memories; his one and only daughter Andrea Watkins, his son Blazes (Dog); fiancé Carnetha McCall; sisters Tawanda Lacey, Theresa Watkins; brother-in-law Walter Woodley; loving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephew, a host of cousin and friends. You may be gone but never forgotten.
Funeral service will be 11am Tuesday, July 8, 2025 at Hughes Funeral Home, 324 Bellevue Ave., Trenton, NJ 08618. Calling hour will be 10am until the time of service. Interment will be private.
